Broncos turn tables on Cuyama Valley, rally for close win

The most thrilling and emotionally exhausting basketball game of the season for Coast Union’s boys played out in front of a highly vocal home crowd Friday night, Feb. 2. The Broncos came from behind to defeat the Cuyama Valley Bears, 37-34 — an ending eerily similar to the score Jan. 16, when Coast lost 34-32 on the Bears’ home court.

Coming into this week, the Broncos were tied for first place in the Coast Valley League with Valley Christian Academy and Shandon High School.

The Cuyama Valley victory came on the heels of a blowout against the Maricopa Indians. Sophomore David Amodei led the Broncos with 18 points on the way to a 63-12 victory.

Amodei also had five steals and three rebounds.
